pkgsrc/mk: bsd.pkg.mk
Log Message:
Reset the current locale to a sane value (that is, 'C') during the build
of packages. Several utilities behave differently or even incorrectly if
a locale different than 'C' is set.
One of these is perl, which spits a big warning and then breaks some
packages. An example is irssi, as described in PR pkg/29613 by Hanno
Wagner.
